    Has anyone hooked up a vacuum to their Vanda-Lay thickness sander? How did you rig it? I'm looking for ideas.

    Nice work. I feel your pain on the epoxy use. I have found JB Weld - Kwikwood to a great friend of mine while shaping the hull.

    Hi Ari, Did you thin the liquid metal copper? Did you apply with a handbrush or airbrush? Great work! I've found your log very informative and helpful. Paul

    I know you said local but I would pay you to ship the ropewalk to me!

    Well done! You are an inspiration. I just dusted mine off and am starting to sand!

    I think the Connie museum's model is the one made by Blue Jacket.

    I didn't realize that until I was almost done posting. Newbie learning curve!

    Thanks Ian! Thats exactly what I'm trying to do here. I look at other build logs and wonder how they did what they are showing.

    Transfered Hull station marks from template to the keel. Using a hull marking jig, drew hull stations on port and starboard sides.

    The hull is made of basswood and came pre-carved to a rough initial shape. There is plenty of material to remove to get the ship to its shape per-plan. The manufacturer, to protect the model from any damage it may receive during shipping and handling, intentionally left the extra material. Note the stems on the bow and stern.

    My goal is to make her as close to her appearance on August 19, 1812, before the battle with HMS Guerriere. Any and all constructive criticism is welcome as this is my first build and I would love to learn new techniques!

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
